Therefore, the Kingdom has taken a balanced approach to achieving net carbon neutrality following the circular carbon economy approach in in line with its development plans and allowing its economic diversification without affecting growth and supply chains, while developing technologies with global participation to address emissions through the “Green Saudi Arabia” and “Green Middle East” initiatives in support for these efforts are local and regional.

We also stress the importance of continuing to inject and encourage investment in fossil energy and its clean technologies over the next two decades to meet growing demand globally, with the importance of assuring investors that the policies adopted do not represent a threat to their investments in in order to avoid their reluctance to invest and to ensure that there is no shortage of energy supply that affects their investments International economy.

The Kingdom will play its role in this field, as it has announced an increase in its production capacity to 13 million barrels per day, after which the Kingdom will have no additional capacity to increase production.
